What Are Age Spots and Hyperpigmentation?
As you age, you may notice dark patches appear on your skin. Age spots, also known as liver spots, are small, flat, brown patches that typically appear on areas of the skin that are exposed to sunlight, such as the face, arms, shoulders, and hands. Although typically harmless, age spots can cause a patient to appear older and decrease self-esteem. Other forms of hyperpigmentation, such as acne scars, sun spots, and melasma, can appear anywhere on the body and vary in size, shape, and color. These dark, patchy areas can be removed or minimized to help enhance your appearance and boost your confidence. At Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, we offer a variety of treatments to reduce the appearance of age spots and hyperpigmentation. Contact our team today to learn about the available therapies at our West Palmdale, Ridgecrest, and Tehachapi, CA practices.

What Are the Benefits of Age Spots and Hyperpigmentation Treatment?
Age spots and hyperpigmentation can occur due to various factors, such as sun exposure, genetics, pregnancy, and more.

Some common symptoms include:
Age spots:

- Tan to dark brown in color

- Occur on skin often exposed to the sun (hands, tops of feet, face, upper back, and shoulders)
- Range in size (freckle size to about 13mm across)
Hyperpigmentation:
- Raised dark patches growing in size
- Discolored patches that become darker after sun exposure
- Patches of varying shades of brown or black
- Discoloration noticed after injury or inflammation on the skin

Age Spots & Hyperpigmentation FAQ
Can age spots become cancerous?
Regular age spots are benign and cannot turn into cancer. However, if a spot changes in appearance, it must be checked by our staff as it may be a sign of melanoma or another type of skin cancer.
How can I prevent age spots?
Protecting your skin from the sun is the best way to prevent age spots. This includes using broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding sun exposure during peak hours.
What causes hyperpigmentation?
In some cases, the body can automatically produce more pigmentation than is required. Certain health and environmental conditions, including some medications, skin injury or trauma, and UV exposure, can also heighten a person's risk for hyperpigmentation.
